Official Synopsis: Simon Spier keeps a huge secret from his family, his friends, and all of his classmates: he’s gay. When that secret is leaked, Simon must face everyone and come to terms with his identity.

Official Synopsis: Lara Croft, the fiercely independent daughter of a missing adventurer, must push herself beyond her limits when she finds herself on the island where her father disappeared.

CocktailsandMovies.com’s Take: The only real challenger to BP. But, not sure it has the gravitas of an Angelina Jolie-led film…

Duwayne’s Pick: Love, Simon! I have been wanting to see this since the first trailer. I have been a Nick Robinson fan since “Being Charlie”, but noticed him in the small movie “The Kings of Summer” before that. The movie looks great, Nick is great as the lead and has a wonderful ensemble support cast. It has a great deal of emotion/drama to it but has its moments of fun. Great movie for kids to see especially with the rise of bullying and cyber-bullying on the rise in schools nowadays.

3. A Wrinkle in Time – this could turn out to be a turkey by Disney
Estimated Weekend: $20 million

4. I Can Only Imagine – I may not know this movie, but early box office returns are looking good
Estimated Weekend: $18 million

5. 7 Days in Entebbe – do people want to watch dark movies
Estimated Weekend: $15 million

Wishes and a pretty bird vie for Black Panther’s throne in a light weekend

Black Panther continues to reign at the box office, surpassing even the most optimistic outlooks on it’s box office take. While we think that it has yet another $50 million box office weekend, there are a lot of movies coming out in the next month and next 90 days that will have all our money.

This week, it’s a return to the 70’s and 80’s as we return to Cold War Era spy movies and a reboot of a violent anti-violence movie that made a house hold name of Charles Bronson. So, let’s take a look at the weekend and ask you, “Whaddya Got on Tap?”

Romance, Sci-Fi and Adult Games look to take on Black Panther

Well, Black Panther has come and swept the nation and all the money in sight last weekend. Sure, it was a four day weekend, but BP surpassed our estimates by $70 million! It’s really a great movie, so go see it if you haven’t. But, this week, new movies have arrived. A mixed bag for everyone to enjoy with a love movie, adult game night and a new film from the creator of Ex Machina, one of our favorite movies in the last few years.

So, let’s see what’s new this week as we ask every Friday, “Whaddya Got On Tap?”

Well, now we are getting somewhere! Another four day weekend! We’ve been in a bit of doldrums this year so far, with nothing really big to point to. But, now we’ve got some big movies with something for everyone. The CocktailsandMovies.com office is abuzz and ready for Black Panther as we hurtle toward Avengers: Infinity War later this summer. So, let’s see what’s new this week as we ask you “Whaddya Got On Tap?”

Just three wide releases for this week. But, boy are they big. And look for some big numbers on this President’s Day weekend.

Official Synopsis: T’Challa, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king.

CocktailsandMovies.com’sTake: We’re excited! What more can we say. Marvel will always have our ticket money.

Official Synopsis: Set at the dawn of time, when prehistoric creatures and woolly mammoths roamed the earth, Early Man tells the story of Dug, along with sidekick Hognob as they unite his tribe against a mighty enemy Lord Nooth and his Bronze Age City to save their home.

CocktailsandMovies.com’s Take: Not for us. But, there are kids out there who can’t go to Black Panther.

Official Synopsis: After losing the love of his life to a cruel Philistine prince, a young Hebrew with Supernatural strength defends his people, sacrificing everything to avenge his love, his people, and his God.

CocktailsandMovies.com’s Take: For the God crowd, but I would have put this out in four more weeks closer to Easter…

Duwayne’s Pick: Black Panther! I am a comic book fan and an even bigger fan of the MCU movies. I liked the Black Panther in the comics and I was excited to see him get his own movie. What we see of him in Civil War was great. And this movie looks like it’s going to be one hell of a movie. The SFX look great, Wakanda looks awesome, and the characters look great. I’m seeing this a few times opening weekend.

Tim’s Pick: Black Panther. It’s Marvel and I can’t see myself NOT going.

The Weekend Top Five:

1. Black Panther – it’s going to take a lot of money if Fandango numbers are an indication
Estimated Weekend: $170 million

2. Early Man – a distant second
Estimated Weekend: $45 million

3. Sampson – look for this to make a little each week
Estimated Weekend: $20 million

5. The 15:17 to Paris – I would put Peter Rabbit here but I think it’s going to get swallowed by Early man
Estimated Weekend: $10 million
